Juwan Howard

The Orlando Sentinel Star of The Week

March 19, 1996

With Chris Webber out for the remainder of the season, Washington forward Juwan Howard has become the team's most valuable player, leading the Bullets in both scoring (20.8 per game) and rebounding (7.9). He has scored in double figures in 61 of 64 games this season and in the past three games is averaging 23.3 points.

''Hard work pays off. I'm seeing that now. I figured it might take me another year or two, that maybe I needed to know more about the game itself, before things really came together. It's happened quicker than I thought it would.'' - Juwan Howard.
